Held in NLA. The first Australian commercial apples were exported to Europe in 1886. "This was made possible by improved cool storage technologies. The new-world Australian growers also had the advantage of being at the opposite end of the European growing season. Exporting apples gave Australia a spot in the world's commodity market." Ref: J.A. Christensen, Making the connection between history, agricultural diversity..., Uni of Melbourne, 2016, p106.
